I am interested in your views on this topic folks .
I admit to having a certain style of which I am happy with. Its more of the classical lines of Jacket ( tailored sportscoat or blazer), open necked shirt with smart denims or chinos and brown shoes .
In a way its been a kind of gentle pressure from my OH that I dress this way . Let me explain. During the week my OH is a cake decorator and confectioner and so she wears scruffy/old jeans and tops all week that become caked ( no pun intended) in sugar and she smells very "cakey" when she comes home . So when it comes to weekend when we go out she dresses very girlie and normally spends hours in the bathroom getting ready and chooses usually a very nice dress with jacket and clutch bag to match. Not forgetting the heels or boots of course . Therefore I need to dress and quite happily doing it to match her and compliment her and also myself at the same time. Therefore a baggy T shirt with worn baggy jeans doesn't cut it in this instance even though I tend to wear these type of clothes during the working week.
So if you like this has become my style and have received compliments of others ( both genders) .
I prefer to be well dressed and over dressed all the time.
I don't like wearing torn clothes at all and this is coming from a punk chick.
I am overdressed for most things. I don't own a pair of trousers, I hate them. I am skirts and dresses only.
I am tall and lanky at 6 ft. 3 in. weighing 172 lbs. Finding medium tall or medium long clothes has always been a problem, worse now than in the past. My fashion sense is the K.I.S.S. principal; Wrangler or Rustler jeans purchased from whichever discount store has them on sale, tee-shirts from Duluth Trading Company, chambray or khaki work shirts. Shoes are canvas desert boots, canvas boating shoes or an old combat boots. I don't own nor wear jewelry, not even a wedding ring.
If I can't throw whatever clothes I'm wearing into the washing machine, I don't won't them. I do have one charcoal gray three-piece suit, with three matching dress shirts and ties I purchased in 1984; and yes, it still fits.
So, I reckon, as long as I'm neat and clean, I don't really care.
Yes i like to follow the fashion trends and so enjoy choosing new clothes to wear.
I'm alternative and I overdress and wear makeup even if I'm just popping to a corner shop. Today I wore fishnets, black skater skirt and a gothic top with a chained belt and knee high combat boots just to buy some milk.
I'm not much into fashion, but I prefer 'a gentleman's suit' over others ...
at the end of the day, i dont try to keep up with latest styles
i just wear what i like an think looks good on me
I am into comfort, not fashion. Slacks and a golf or sport shirt for work or social occasions, sweatpants and something casual at home. I own a suit for special occasions like graduations, weddings, etc.
I like slacks, a button down shirt (Orvis Men's cut fit me nicely), and a sports coat or cashmere pull over. I often wear a tie when it's not blistering hot and have many to choose from thanks to my father's obsession. I still haven't found that black skirt.
Not into fashion at all, really never have been. The day after I retired I donated almost all my suits, slacks, sports coats and many ties to Goodwill. I kept 1 charcoal grey suit for weddings/funerals, a couple of sports coats and a pair of slacks that goes with both and a few favorite ties. Now I wear jeans or shorts, depending on the season, along with either T-shirts or long sleeved pull over shirts. Even when I wore a suit and tie every day I chose them by how they looked on me not whether or not they were in style.
People are going to stare, make it worth their while.
Blue jeans and tee shirts or work shirts; shorts and tee shirts or work shirts. High top tennis shoes, boat shoes or boots. If I can't drop down and crawl under a vehicle, tractor, work on my boat or work in my shop, I don't wear it.

I grew up on a farm, so I never really developed much of a fashion sense until I finished grad school and had to dress for a professional position. But I'm basically a country girl, and blue jeans and braless are my style. My face and figure have always been the main attraction, not my clothes, so tight jeans and clingy tops display my best qualities.
I love dressing well, but am no necessarily going to be a slavish follower of the latest fashions. I tend to go for quality rather than the latest thing to come down the catwalk. I have no objection to wearing pants/trousers as long as the fabric is appropriate and they are well-cut and tailored. I guess I want to look nice and pleasing not only to my eye but to that of other women and, of course, men.
All my life I think I have had an instinctive notion of what is stylish, which is different from some fashions which tend to be silly innovation for the sake of it.
Win-win.
